Alfa Romeo Giulia: Engine

Affects Alfa Romeo Giulia · 2017–2018 — about 699 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD), a coolant hose clamp may rub against a brake fluid line in the engine compartment. Over time, this could lead to brake fluid leaking onto the engine catalyst. This could cause an engine compartment fire, creating a risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket on the brake fluid line to ensure proper clearance from the coolant hose. If the brake line is found damaged, a new brake line will be installed.
